‘Turkey determined to continue fight against terror’

By Duygu Yener

ANKARA (AA) - Turkey is determined to continue its fight against terrorism, the country’s presidential aide said on Monday.

“It is out of the question for Turkey to get permission or consent from Israel or any other country [to fight terror],” Ibrahim Kalin told reporters in the capital Ankara after a Cabinet meeting.

Kalin’s remarks came after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday attacked the Turkish president over Turkey's counter-terror operation and Cyprus issues on Twitter.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan responded to Netanyahu’s tweet, saying Israeli prime minister is heading “state terror.”
